Founded in 2007, the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University is committed to advancing knowledge and understanding of the modern State of Israel by training a new generation of scholars and teachers, building a vibrant academic community, and supporting research, publications, and conferences.
In keeping with Brandeis University’s founding, the Schusterman Center is non-sectarian, welcoming scholars and staff of all backgrounds and beliefs. The university’s rootedness in Jewish values emphasizes a reverence for learning, rigorous academic standards and critical thinking in all that we do.
